Google adsense is a great way to monetize your website. You can make big profits and you do not even have to sell anything. All you have to do is find a profitable niche, do your keyword research, create your web pages and generate traffic to your site.
This is alot of work that has to be done. Do not let anybody tell you that making money with adsense takes little or no work.
To help you with all of this work, look for a good adsense templates package. A good package will have some of the work all ready done and make it easier for you to complete the other tasks.
Here are the top 6 features for any adsense templates package:
1. Well made templates - pay attention to the layout, header graphics and color schemes.
2. Well Optimized - Designed with adsense and with the ability for other income streams. Use of proper ad blocks, link units and ads are placed for maximum clicks.
3. Easy customization - Ability to add as much content as you like without altering the way the site looks.
4. Private label templates - you can modify them for ANY topic you wish to use
5. Private Label Articles - These will help you get started, but please rewrite the articles so they are unique.
6. A package or kit that contains tools, software and information you need to help you succeed with your adsense templates. A set of instructions on how to use the templates or even better a video tutorial so you can actually see how things are done.
I think that a big part of any adsense template package that you purchase should have some kind of kit that helps you not only with the customization of the templates but with content creation and traffic generation. If you don't have good quality content and people visiting your site, then you will not make any money at all.

Why keyword research is so important and a Free keyword research tool
Keyword research is the first step you should take if you are trying to sell your own product or an affiliate product online because you need to find out what words people are searching for online. The more popular words are the ones that are searched for the most. A simple concept to understand.
By doing your keyword research, you can identify which niches are profitable and which ones are not. When you find a profitable niche, you can make your own product for that niche and then sell affiliate products on the back end to your list subscribers who bought your product. You can also just sell affiliate products, build a list through that and sell them more affiliate products in the future.
There are many keyword research tools that you can use. Some are free and some are not. I like to use a free tool by wordtracker. You can use this tool by visiting http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/gtrends/
Type in your main keyword or phrase and click on the hit me button. The keyword tool will then generate up to 100 related keywords and an estimate of their daily search volume.
On the left hand side you will see the daily search volume for each keyword, but also notice the bar graph on the right hand side. Click on the bar graph it will reveal the google competition and actual visitors from #1 in google per day. This is important information to have to see if a niche is profitable and also which keywords to target. You can have a profitable niche, but if you target the wrong keywords then you will have a more difficult time ranking high in the search engines. The more competitive a keyword is, the harder it will be rank high in the search engine rankings to generate free traffic to your site.
This tool will also recommend what the number should be for competition and actual visitors. It will give a green check mark for good to go and a red x for look for another keyword.
I have found this tool to be very helpful in my market and keyword research. You can find this free keyword research tool at:

New *Proven* free traffic method...
Everybody wants traffic, right?
And there's a ton of ways to get it. But let's face it...
Most of the so-called "f'ree traffic generators" aren't
worth your time...all you get are unqualified freebie
seekers who never buy anything.
To tell you the truth, I stay away from most of the
free traffic methods, because they generally require
too much work for the little return on investment
(your time).
Personally, I'd much rather PAY for traffic so I can
get it quickly and find out in a matter of days - or
even hours - if my campaign is working.
Like all things in life - you get what you pay for...
But I know how it is. When you're first getting started,
you don't have a ton of cash to throw around, and
frankly you probably DO have more time than money.
So if that describes you (and don't worry...you're not
alone) then here's a tip that should help:
=> Piggy Back Traffic
As far as f'ree traffic methods go, this is one of the
easiest and delivers some of the quickest results. And
it's a great way to get off your rear-end and get started.
It doesn't involve "cheating the system" or doing anything
that will get you banned. And the traffic flow it creates
will last for months - even years.
Check it out:
=> Piggy Back Traffic
If you move fast (and actually implement), you could start
seeing results (and sales) in as little as 7 days from now.

Google planning social media features.
This video explains how their new technology will allow webmasters to integrate Web 2.0. into their own sites.
I think the implications are very exciting, and the video gives us clues to
the type of sites we should be planning in the future. Watch the video, and
then ask yourself how many of your existing sites would benefit from this

How To Make Money Online (yes, even if you're a newbie)
Have you noticed how difficult it is to actually get any REAL information about how to make money online?
It's a nightmare isn't it? You start off buying up everything you come across - all promising your overnight riches but only to disappoint you and leave you out of pocket. Well it doesn't have to be like that as Michael Cheney is about to explain in this interview.
Michael Cheney, one of the most-respected names in Internet marketing, has been online since 1995 and is the man behind the 6-Figure launches of AdSense Videos, 11 Days To List Profits and Michael's Traffic Videos.
After receiving 1489 responses to a survey he put out to his list one big request came back from almost everyone;
"Give us something easy, step-by-step and proven to make money online that anyone can do!"
So that's what he's giving you in the new product Start Your Profits Today.
Q. Michael, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us today.
A. My pleasure - I know a lot of people out there want to get started making money online so it's my job to get out and spread the word about how easy it is.
Q. So what do you see as being the main hurdles to newbies being able to make money on the internet? What is it that's stopping them?
A. To be honest with you I think the main thing is information. There is just so much BAD information out there. Scams. Cons. Just bad information that is leading people astray and wasting their time and money. I mean you get onto the Internet and the first thing you see almost is these get-rich-quick schemes. It's not your fault for seizing these so-called opportunities as they are presented so well. And believe me - I know there are thousands of you out there who have been taken for a ride by things like this. People on my list have been telling me this.
Q. Yes, you ran survey didn't you to ask your list what they wanted? What sort of questions did you ask them and what did they say?
A. Well I asked how I could most help them. You know - I've been online since 1995 and make a lot of money online but I was keen to tap into their BIGGEST challenges and needs. So I asked them what sort of information they wanted to learn. What style of learning they preferred and how they wanted this information to be delivered. I was totally blown away by the responses - I got 1489 people completing the survey!
Q. So what did they say?
A. There some big common themes that kept coming up as I looked at the responses and all the comments. These were that people want something that is STEP BY STEP, something that is AFFORDABALE and something that takes you right FROM BEGINNING and doesn't leave anything out. You can get really frustrated when you start investing in products that claim to make you money online only to find that leave out a massive piece of the jigsaw. Or they forget to mention that you need to buy X, Y and Z just to make their system work. And that's where Start Your Profits Today is different.
Q. How do you mean exactly?
A. Well, for the first time - I take you, as a total newbie beginner, right through the entire process from beginning to end on making money online. You discover how to get your own website address, how to create your website and how to start bringing the money in by selling other people's products. This is a distilled version of the best making-money techniques I have ever used in my 13 years' online experience. This is quite simple the fastest, easiest and best way to make money online and I show you what to do every step of the way.
Q. Sounds great. So how do you take people through all these steps?
A. Simple - I have recorded short videos on-screen of me actually doing each of these steps so you just follow the simple success formula - WATCH. COPY. EARN. You cannot go wrong, even a child could do it. I'm serious!
Q.You're right, it does sound really easy. So tell me, what are some of these steps that you go through in Start Your Profits Today?
A. You learn how to pinpoint the most profitable products to promote. You like that title?! I like to have snappy titles that inspire you to take action as it's not all sexy make-money stuff right from the beginning. There are obviously crucial steps you need to take in preparation. You know - to get your website online, to get your website address and to add words and pictures to your website etc.
Q. So what exactly do you need if you're a beginner starting out trying to make online? Are there some items you need to buy?
A. Great question - yes you do need to have a few essentials. You just can't make money online without them. You'll need your own website address and of course your own website. I show you where to get this and the best, cheapest place to go for this in Start Your Profits Today. Other than that you can do everything else pretty much for free.
Q. So you don't need to buy lots of different things to get started online?
A. No not all. I'm a big believer in doing things that are free! I started out with nothing, working from my bedroom in a poxy one-bed bachelor apartment. Now I live in $800,000 house in the country. My point? When I started out if there was a free way to do something - I found it! And I'm still that way now so I uncover some of these insider money-saving secrets in the videos as well.
Q. So wrapping up then - who would you say would benefit from these videos? Do you need to have a basic level of knowledge on the internet to get started?
A. If you can turn on your computer you are good to go! Seriously! You'll see that I take you by the hand and guide you through every step of the way. I hate jargon so you won't see any of that and it's all explained in simple English and you can go along and progress through to the money at your own pace.
Q. You really do seem to have created a product that every newbie is going to want! So I guess the big question is - how much money can they make using Start Your Profits Today?
A. Well this all really depends on your attitude. If you have a great attitude and you put in the time to go through the steps then there is honestly no limit. You could quite easily be bringing in a few hundred to a few thousand extra dollars a week once you are up and running. What you need to remember is that is exactly the same system that I use in my multi-million dollar business. It works for me, it works for thousands of other people and it will work for you too.
Q. That's great Michael. Thank you again for your time today, I really appreciate you doing this interview for us. Well all that remains now is for anyone listening to this interview to get over to Start Your Profits Today and start your profits today!

3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need To Survive Online
Every affiliate marketer is always looking for the successful market that gives the biggest paycheck. Sometimes they think it is a magic formula that is readily available for them. Actually, it is more complicated than that. It is just good marketing practices that have been proven over years of hard work and dedication.
There are tactics that have worked before with online marketing and is continuing to work in the online affiliate marketing world of today. With these top three marketing tips, you will be able to able to increase your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.
What are these three tactics?
1. Using unique web pages to promote each separate product you are marketing. Do not lump all of it together just to save some money on web hosting. It is best to have a site focusing on each and every product and nothing more.
Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Also include testimonials from users who have already tried the product. Be sure that these customers are more than willing to allow you to use their names and photos on the site of the specific product you are marketing.
You can also write articles highlighting the uses of the product and include them on the website as an additional page. Make the pages attractive compelling and include calls to act on the information. Each headline should attract the readers to try and read more, even contact you. Highlight your special points. This will help your readers to learn what the page is about and will want to find out more.
2. Offer free reports to your readers. If possible position them at the very top side of your page so it they simply cannot be missed. Try to create autoresponder messages that will be mailed to those who input their personal information into your sign up box. According to research, a sale is closed usually on the seventh contact with a prospect.
Only two things can possibly happen with the web page alone: closed sale or the prospect leaving the page and never return again. By placing useful information into their inboxes at certain specified period, you will remind them of the product they thought they want later and will find out that the sale is closed. Be sure that the content is directed toward specific reasons to buy the product. Do not make it sound like a sales pitch.
Focus on important points like how your product can make life and things easier and more enjoyable. Include compelling subject lines in the email. As much as possible, avoid using the word “free” because there are still older spam filters that dumps those kind of contents into the junk before even anyone reading them first. Convince those who signed up for your free reports that they will be missing something big if they do not avail of your products and services.
3. Get the kind of traffic that is targeted to your product. Just think, if the person who visited your website has no interest whatsoever in what you are offering, they will be among those who move on and never come back. Write articles for publication in e-zines and e-reports. This way you can locate publications that is focusing on your target customers and what you have put up might just grab their interest.
Try to write a minimum of 2 articles per week, with at least 300-600 words in length. By continuously writing and maintaining these articles you can generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.
Always remember that only 1 out of 100 people are likely to buy your product or get your services. If you can generate as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your website in a day, that means you can made 10 sales based on the average statistic.
The tactics given above does not really sound very difficult to do, if you think about it. It just requires a little time and an action plan on your part.
Try to use these tips for several affiliate marketing programs. You can end maintaining a good source of income and surviving in this business that not all marketers can do.
Besides, think of the huge paychecks you will be receiving…

The Different Types Of Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing programs has never been as popular before as it is today. Why? There can be a number of reasons. The most probable reason, however, could be the fact that the benefits of affiliate marketing have become clearer to a lot of people now than they were before.
Today, both the merchants and the affiliates can see clearly that affiliate marketing can work for both of them. The merchant sees affiliate marketing today as the chance to advertise their products at a lower cost. The affiliates, on the other hand, sees affiliate marketing as an easy way of earning profits online by doing what they like most, and that is by creating websites.
Just as the popularity of affiliate marketing has shifted into greater heights, so has the people's outlook about it changed. No longer is affiliate marketing considered today as an alternative method for the merchant to advertise his products, or as a source of additional income for the affiliates. For merchants and affiliates alike, affiliate marketing is now considered as a main source of profits and revenues.
So the question now is what type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? Are all affiliate marketing programs the same? Are the benefits the same? Or are there affiliate marketing programs that work better than the others?
There are actually different types or classes of affiliate marketing, and the number of types will depend on how one will classify them. The most basic affiliate marketing programs, however, falls under two categories: pay-per-click (PPC), and pay-per-performance (PPP).
• Pay Per Click (PPC)
PPC is the most popular type of affiliate marketing for affiliates with small websites, and probably the easiest way for them to earn money. In this affiliate marketing type, the merchant pays his affiliate whenever a visitor is referred to his site, that is whenever someone clicks through the merchant's banner or text ads. The affiliate gets paid a certain amount even if the visitor he referred does not purchase anything from the merchant's site. However, typical fees for PPC affiliate programs are small, usually not exceeding a dollar for every click.
• Pay Per Performance (PPP)
PPP affiliate marketing is the most popular among merchant and is also the most lucrative type for the affiliates. In this type of affiliate program, the merchant only pays the affiliate whenever his referral translates into an action—that is whenever the visitor he has referred actually buys something from the merchant's site or when the visitor becomes a lead. This means a lot of savings for the merchant. On the other hand, it becomes the most lucrative type for the dedicated affiliate, for commissions in PPP affiliate marketing usually comes in the range of 15% to 20% of the actual product sales.
Pay-per-performance affiliate marketing can be further classified into two popular types: pay-per-sales (PPS) and pay-per-lead (PPL).
o Pay Per Sale (PPS)
In a pay-per-sale type of affiliate marketing, the merchants pay the affiliate a certain fee whenever the visitor he has referred to the merchant's site actually buys something from the merchant's site. Affiliates are often paid on commission basis, although other merchants would opt to pay a fixed fee. But no matter what the basis of the fee is, it is generally higher than the fee paid to affiliates in a pay-per-click affiliate program.
o Pay Per Lead (PPL)
The pay-per-lead type of affiliate marketing is a slight variation of the PPS type and is often used by insurance and finance companies and other companies who rely on leads for their company to grow. In this type of affiliate marketing, the affiliate is paid whenever the visitor he referred to the merchant's site fills up an application form or any similar form related to the business of the company. Compensation for this type of affiliate marketing is based on a fixed fee whose rates approximate that of the fixed fee in the PPS type.
Aside from these three specific types of affiliate marketing, a lot of other affiliate marketing types exist. If the classification is based on the depth of the affiliate network, it can be classified as single-tier, two-tier, and multi-tier affiliate marketing. There is also another type of affiliate marketing that pays the affiliate each time the customer he has referred purchases something from the merchant's site.
• Single-Tier, Two-Tier, and Multi-Tier Affiliate Marketing
These types of affiliate marketing are based on the different levels or tiers in the affiliate network by which payments are made. In a single-tier affiliate marketing program, the affiliates are only paid based on the direct sales or traffic he has referred to the merchant. All the previously mentioned affiliate marketing types (i.e. PPS< PPL, and PPC) fall under the single-tier classification.
• In two-tier affiliate marketing programs, the affiliate is not only paid for the direct traffic or sales that he refers to the merchant's site, but also on every traffic or sales referred by various other affiliates who joined the affiliate program through his recommendation. Multi-tier affiliate marketing works the same way, although the affiliate gets additional commission for a wider number of affiliates in different tiers in the affiliate network.
• Residual Income Affiliate Marketing
In residual income affiliate marketing, the affiliate gets paid not only once for every customer he has referred to the merchant's site. Rather, the affiliate is also paid whenever the customer he has referred returns to the site and purchase another product. Compensation for such type of affiliate marketing is based on either sales percentage commission or fixed fee basis.
The different affiliate marketing types would virtually work differently for merchants and affiliates alike, and each would generally have their own list of benefits. Which type of affiliate marketing will work best for you? It is not really for me to tell. Rather, it is for you to choose which type of affiliate marketing program will suit your needs and characteristics best.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing has many descriptions, yet all have the same meaning. Affiliate marketing is a huge business piece on the Internet. It is a cooperative effort between merchants and an affiliate’s website. For many years now, affiliate marketing has proved to be a cost-efficient, measurable method of delivering long-tern results. It has become famous for Internet sites who are trying to make some extra or additional income for their site. Every day, people get interested to affiliate marketing and want to make money out of it. But in many cases, these new affiliates do not fully understand the affiliate world and make costly mistakes. In other words, affiliate marketing has often been misunderstood.
One of the common misconceptions that are being associated about affiliate marketing is “selling”, though selling is an important activity of affiliate marketing and the central function of a business operation. Another is that affiliate marketing is commonly linked with “advertising”. While the importance of advertising in marketing a certain product is not to be underestimated, the fact of the matter is, advertising like selling, is merely a part of the many functions of marketing.
In affiliate marketing, an affiliate is compensated for every visitor, subscriber and/or customer provided through his efforts. The said compensation may be made based on a certain value for each visit. The most attractive aspect of affiliate marketing from the merchant’s viewpoint is that no payment is due to an affiliate until results are appreciated.
Affiliate marketing is typically being run by affiliate networks and this affiliate networks are composed of two functional bodies, the group affiliates and the group merchants. Each has their special function and role when it comes to affiliate marketing. The affiliate network acts as a third party between the merchant and the associated affiliates. The network provides the technology to deliver the merchant’s campaigns and offers. The affiliate network also collects commission fees from the merchant and then pays the affiliates which are part of the program.
The merchant is any web site owner that wants or desires to take advantage of performance based marketing. The benefits to the merchant are many. First, the merchant maintains and operates the affiliate program. If it would be extracted, the merchant needs to do their part by researching interested affiliate websites to ensure that they are a good fit for that particular website. Finding a fit for their merchandise would be the key to more generated income. The merchant has access to markets and customers without him spending valuable time searching out. Banner ads on affiliate sites are not distracting to the site user. It might produce interest for that product and drive the consumer to the merchants’ website. It is also the merchant who decides how much he is willing to pay for each sale that results from a visitor sent from an affiliate.
The affiliate or the affiliate marketer also sees a lot of benefits. The affiliate is a web site owner that promotes one or more merchants and their affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing can generate a full-time income for the affiliate. But this is not an easy task to accomplish. The affiliate needs to have a better understanding with the merchant what the commission will be, expected payment method and time involved in the contract. The affiliate has also the responsibility to stand for the merchandise their user based would be most interested in. For example, if the site has a user base of mainly stay-at-home mothers, then on-line job openings such as surveys would be a good match for them. This group would also appreciate direct links to children’s products and informational sites. Merchandisers often provide targeted, best-seller items and personal support to their affiliate. They often offer sales promotions that will benefit the merchandiser as well as the affiliate.
Affiliate marketing is a great situation for both the marketer and the affiliate. If they would work together, they can be an advantage to both. Plus the fact that it seems to make sense, it is easy and inexpensive way to start, and you can be up and running within a few days. But there is one thing to consider, it is how to get traffic and make your offer different than all others.
